"Fuel economy" refers to how efficiently a vehicle uses fuel. It measures how many miles (or kilometers) a vehicle can travel on a gallon (or liter) of fuel. A high
fuel economy means the vehicle uses less fuel to cover a certain distance, saving money and reducing environmental impact.
Full definition

fuel economy of a V - 6 in the industry, four - wheel independent suspension and four - wheel disc brakes.
The smaller engine yields slightly
better fuel economy ratings of 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway.
The mpg (miles per gallon) values listed represent the equivalent combined city /
highway fuel economy rating for an electric vehicle in that region.
The transmission efficiency and wide ratio spread also provide the
improved fuel economy in city traffic.
On the other hand, the SUV would become eventually more street - oriented vehicle, with excellent
fuel economy for city ride.
These standards represent, by far, the most significant increase
in fuel economy in three decades.

excellent fuel economy numbers.
Besides the obvious power advantage, the diesel should also offer
great fuel economy as well.
The new four makes slightly more horsepower and torque — roughly 270 horsepower and 300 lb - ft — but holds on to the same impressive
fuel economy figures.
With seating for five, lots of tech inside and an estimated
combined fuel economy average of 34 mpg, it keeps raising the standard for its segment.
These policies include a cap on carbon emissions, a serious increase in
fuel economy standards for cars and light trucks, and at least a doubling of federal R&D for clean energy.
An instant fuel - mileage indicator also lets drivers keep tabs
on fuel economy on a real - time basis.
We estimate, for example, that we can
increase fuel economy by as much as 25 percent in tractor trailers using technologies that already exist today.
Smart power ensures quick acceleration, while delivering
impressive fuel economy for the long trips that lie ahead.
Reviews: * Superb power yet great
fuel economy from optional V6, huge cargo space with flat load floor and low load height, comfortable ride, responsive handling.
This redesign also provides better handling and improved
fuel economy as well.
It's available in either body style and makes 137 horsepower and 240 lb - ft of torque, all while getting
outstanding fuel economy.
The larger engine displacement allows for increased torque, reducing engine speeds (RPM), which improves
fuel economy at highway speeds.
This, combined with class
leading fuel economy led to it being a rapid and considerable success in the Japanese domestic market.
The transmission alone would have provide upward of 10 % improvement in
fuel economy over today's conventional six - speed automatic transmissions.
This 295 - horsepower engine is mated to an eight - speed automatic transmission, further enhancing
fuel economy while giving more strength off the line and potent passing power.
It also
achieves fuel economy better than that of a manual transmission thanks to its excellent fuel efficiency.
However, the new 10 - speed automatic transmission will help
enhance fuel economy and both engine choices are good.
The car is quick, and yet it achieves
respectable fuel economy estimates at 18 mpg in the city, 25 mpg on the highway and 20 mpg in combined driving.
The wide gear ratio spread helps
maximize fuel economy by helping lower engine rpm in city and highway driving.
The engine has 10 per cent more power and 7 per cent more torque with a similarly higher
claimed fuel economy compared to the engine it replaces.
In comparison many half - ton full - size trucks get better highway and
city fuel economy numbers these days.
I like that it is spacious but not terrible on
fuel economy like most full - size sedans.
Problems such as too - hot operating temperatures, slow throttle response, and
poor fuel economy at low speeds prevented turbine engines from powering mainstream, high - volume vehicles.
Smaller high - performance engines have become a necessity in luxury circles as automakers reach for
fuel economy gains without giving up luxury - class acceleration and performance.
Our time behind the wheel was too short to accurately measure real -
world fuel economy figures.
This is essentially the application of diesel ignition to gasoline, and will yield similar highway
fuel economy without all the downsides of diesel emissions and additional maintenance.
Last week, the automaker also revealed that it hasn't been in compliance with Japanese
fuel economy testing standards since 2002.
Independent road tests [108][109][110][111] found that the vehicle did not out - perform its competitors, which had much
lower fuel economy ratings.
The new systems are expected to improve acceleration performance, in addition to significantly improving
vehicle fuel economy and range.
